COMPETITIVE EDGE

 COMPETITIVE EDGE                                                 

Competitive edge is not how much one knows. It is how well one makes others recognize the capabilities of self.  So, it is a complex ensemble of grasp, analysis, associating cause-effect relations, offering solutions to problems and so on.

All these are, concurrent influences centering round perception. Perception is not an emotional response; it is a logical derivative from assessing facts relevant to an idea. Competitive edge does not arise overnight. It is a product of ‘intellectual grooming’ for analysis.

Analysis owes itself to ‘dispassionate evaluation’ and derives from logical deduction. Dispassionate disposition helps to keep off preferences and bias. Preferences and bias disturb the process of objective assessment.

 Objectivity is the most essential condition to ensure the best package of advice while seeking remedy to a problem. These many ‘influences’ get associated with competitive edge in any discussion. Discussion iterates the ‘weight’ for pros and cons.

Though stated in several terms, it brings us to the essence of ‘perfect comprehension’. Perfect comprehension rallies round the ability to ‘decipher’ information to the last of details. Therefore, the much-needed comprehension has to be acquired right from our lower classes of study as a part of learning.

 It can never be added in later life by any ‘new’ training. Comprehension is the foundation for competitive edge. In a functional group, persons with competitive edge stand taller and get to enter the realms of decision-making for their quick grasp and unbiased attitude of evaluation. Education must lead to intellectual refinement and confidence borne out of conviction.

Why many are unable to handle ‘human-relations issues’ in organizations , rests on the component of ‘neutrality’ an essential attribute of being objective even as one scrupulously avoids temptations as a safe course to pursue to be dependably honest.

So, competitive edge is not how smart are we in physical presentation; it is our steadfast adherence to truth at all times.
